Hacked up doors!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MalibuKasey · 10-20-2011, 09:59 AM

So the PO decide to cut my nice solid doors for a set of old, huge, horrible 6x9 speakers.... If I could find him Id "tie him to the car... and drag him". SOOOOOOO does anyone have a set of doors that are uncut at the bottom that maybe the rest of the door is junk, and your willing to cut up?

x-2, but I did pick up a set of junk doors for free...

MalibuKasey · 10-20-2011, 10:08 AM

Cut and ship?? :-)

i have some that i was trying to sell but decided to gut them and cut them up. i can cut the inside out if you want and ship them.take a better picture so i can see how much you need.

Why not repair what you've got? Cut out a piece of metal the same size and weld them in, not a big deal. A bit of grinding and some body work and you can save what you have. They look like a good set of doors, the set you get may need work also.

I might have at least one side for ya. Ill check in a few when I go to the garage to keep working.. Daytona is cominng quick!!

It seems like 60% of these got the doors cut like that. I know mine did. My solution is a little different; dynamat the door and put a better speaker in.

LostMy65 · 10-21-2011, 11:52 AM

Yes, very common.
That's why anyone who has junk doors, before they scrap them, should cut that area out if its still intact.

LostMy65 EXACTLY RIGHT!! I want to "Look" bone stock at first glance (minus the lowering). Speakers in the doors kill me!

MOTOIMPAIRED · 10-22-2011, 01:14 AM

I looked at one of the doors I have and the area that you need is fine and no one cut it for speakers. I didnt check the second door yet but like I said, If at least one patch can help I will cut it out and send it to you??

LMC truck and several other places sell repair or patch panels for the inside of the doors too- it's a lot less work than prepping used ones. JMO

I have some rotted doors I could cut out. Is it just a flat piece? Welding is going to be hard without warping that panel. I have used polyuerathane adhesive on panel but metal has to be ground clean. email me

^^buy a copper block or welding spoon. Helps channel the heat and really helps with burn and warpage on sheetmetal. I haven't tackled my inside yet, but for doing the door exterior it was a lifesaver.
